7. Would someone bomb innocent people over a headscarf?

If they would, would the French rescind the headscarf ban?

3. Bull. This is too convenient for the repukes dipshit candidate

here in the u.s. Freepers would love to see France terrorized.

Here's a clue.. it didn't work against the spaniards and it won't work against the french. The world will NOT unite behind president AWOL no matter what extremes he takes to get elected.
